In my case, when I am being observed by my principal I think he typically looks for content knowledge and how I engage my students.

I think observers typically look for student behaviors, whether those are positive or negative.

I believe observers are looking for how as an educator you interact with students. I think they use the observation to determine how effective you are in imparting information and ways to provide constructive feedback.
